“We had a 50-year-old patient that, because he didn’t have a girlfriend or wife, wanted to relieve his sexual frustration. So he put his penis in a bottle and this caused the death and necrosis of the penis. When he arrived four days later we had to amputate the penis completely because it was completely dead.”

Dr. Chirinos went on to explain why men should never use a bottle as a masturbation tool.

“When you put your penis into a bottle it causes a constriction in the blood vessels of the penis and within four hours you can lose the penis. This is an embarrassing emergency. The situation with this patient is that he didn’t get medical attention in time and this caused the penis to begin to decay and die completely. There was no choice but to completely remove the penis.”

He went on to say, “It wasn’t just the case that it had died. It had gone completely black and had begun to decay. The necrosis was very severe.”
